RFS: siege (updated package, diffs majorly slimmed down) - attempt 2
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 2.68b7-1 of my package siege. It builds these binary packages: siege - HTTP regression testing and benchmarking utility The package appears to be lintian clean. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/siege - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/siege/siege_2.68b7-1.dsc This version incorporates the latest upstream, where I have pushed the previous batch of patches to. The result is that we are now fully lintian clean (including under pedantic mode) and we no longer need to use quilt at all to fix any problems! changelog: siege (2.68b7-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. * debian/control - Builds-Depends: automake removed (no need to invoke on build now). quilt removed (no patches remain). * debian/patches - Removed autotools_upgrade.patch (Upstream has upgraded automake). - Removed etc_siegerc.patch (Upstream has included). - Removed fix_cl_arguments.patch (Upstream fixed bug differently). - Removed fix_http_headers.patch (Upstream has included). - Removed fix_man_pages.patch (Upstream has included). * Fixed lintian warning: ancient-libtool-usage. -- Tristan Greaves tris...@extricate.org Thu, 02 Apr 2009 22:50:13 +0100 I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

out of date on mips: siege (from 2.66-2)
Hi all, Could someone please explain the above Excuse for me? (I understand the _what_ but not the _why_ in this instance). https://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=siege My package has successfully built on the other architectures, but the process does not seem to have run on mips. There are no click-through logs to look at in order to see if there was a specific problem here, or whether the build just has not kicked off for some reason. Thanks in advance, Tris. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

The package would be lintian-clean but for what I think is a false positive.
lintian (in testing) complains about a dependency on wish, but that can't be
right:
Depends: wish | tk8.5, libtk-img, libjpeg-progs
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends.html
You have in your debian/control file:
Depends: wish | tk8.5, libtk-img, libjpeg-progs
As per the warning note, put the real package _first_ ('wish' is the
virtual here), i.e.:
Depends: tk8.5 | wish, libtk-img, libjpeg-progs

Building outside of build directory (build error on power pc etc)
Hi, The above issue hit my package, and I'd very much like someone to check it is no longer happening: http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=siege I have tested this myself under pbuilder. It does not seem to be causing errors now, but would appreciate another view. However, although the error happened on buildd, I couldn't reproduce this on my system. I did set the parameters when creating the pbuilder set up to 'mimic' powerpc and buildd but to no avail... I'm wondering if there is a simple way when running pbuilder to 'see' if it has put any files in $HOME ? If it completes successfully, it clears its staging area, so I can't go in afterwards to see what it did. (Writing to $HOME could be tested under any environment, as long as I could inspect afterwards) Many thanks for your input in advance, Tris. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Packaging cluedome - copyright problems?
Matthew Palmer wrote: [clue data files with copyrighted info] One option would be to NOT include those two data files in the package, but then it would not be a particularly user friendly installation. Producing unencumbered data files would seem to be the best option. In terms of a separate package, or simply not including? Apologies for my newbie-ness here, I just want to get a handle on the approach you would take for said unencumbered data files.

RFS: siege (updated package) - after initial mentor comments
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 2.67-1 of my package siege. It builds these binary packages: siege - Http regression testing and benchmarking utility The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 521029, 521034 The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/siege - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/siege/siege_2.67-1.dsc Many thanks for the advice given so far. I have worked through the lintian warnings and sorted those out. I have also taken the time to update the source to be based on the latest available upstream. However, there is a problem, and I seek your advice. I have commented out one quilt patch for now. It was a minor issue, but I would not want this package being uploaded until it is in there, to avoid regression problems. The patch in question modifies Makefile.in. This in turn forces the usual auto* stuff to happen. The problems are: 1. For some reason, the latest upstream version of this package is using automake-1.6 (as opposed to 1.9 as it did previously). Is this version still available as it didn't come up when I did a quick search... 2. When the autobuild stuff happens, naturally all the related files are now considered modified. Therefore lintian complains before it isn't done directly by one of the quilt patches. Any suggestions most welcome.

I don't understand why a newer upstream is using an older automake though? I double-checked just to be sure, but the original source is definitely that way. 2. When the autobuild stuff happens, naturally all the related files are now considered modified. Therefore lintian complains before it isn't done directly by one of the quilt patches. Files that were deleted during build don't show up in the diff.gz, so: rm the modified files in your clean target, and lintian won't complain (to make sure double builds work, you might have to copy things back from auto* in your configure target). Okay. For now, I've worked around this issue as the patch in question does not really apply now that I've adjusted the rules anyway. I've uploaded a fresh copy. Is this all set to be uploaded now? If so, what happens next? Many thanks, Tris. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

If you want the extended explanations, use -i as well. I'll probably shy away from sid for now. Is it sufficient for me to fix the standard lintian warnings thrown by my system? This will be easier said than done -- the direct changes seem pretty horrific (all sorts of changes made to the build system). It might be something I tackle more in the next step, which is to bring in the latest version of siege from upstream.
